The Kanjira traces its roots back hundreds of years to south India and is an instrument of the tambourine family. It was originally used in folk and Bhajan music, and later modified into a frame drum with a single pair of jingles and brought to the classical stage. Tycoon’s adaptation of their traditional instrument is designed to create the sounds of the original south Indian drum with rich low frequencies and sharp slap tones. Features include:

• Shell constructed from hand-selected, aged Siam Oak wood

• Features a drum head on one side made from natural, unbleached goat skin

• 7″ diameter head, 2-1/4″ deep

• Steel jingles produce bright sounds when the Kanjira is played
